The 4th Valencia Brazilian Film Festival starts today and runs through April 8 at multiple Valencia Community College campuses.

The festival is free and open to the public. All films are in Portuguese with English subtitles. Visiting filmmakers Malu de Martino and Elisa Tolomelli will moderate. Richard Sansone, a professor of Portuguese at Valencia, organized the festival as a way to highlight the wide scope of Brazilian cinema, provide his students with chances to hear spoken Portuguese and offer the community at large an engaging cultural experience.

All screenings begin at 7 p.m., with receptions planned for each at 6:30 p.m.
